New York Democratic Candidates Outraise “GOP Rivals by Leaps and Bounds”

POLITICO: "Battleground Dems in key House races recorded another blockbuster fundraising quarter, outraising their GOP rivals by leaps and bounds, the candidates' campaign finance filings revealed Tuesday."

18 days out from Election Day, New York's Red to Blue and Frontline candidates' whopping Q3 fundraising totals have them financially and strategically positioned to beat the most vulnerable Republicans on the battlefield.

Self-serving Republicans Nick LaLota, Anthony D'Esposito, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, Brandon Williams, Mike LiPetri, and Alison Esposito have spent their careers supporting an extreme anti-abortion, anti-freedom agenda while elevating chaos and dysfunction in Congress and on the campaign trail. New York voters are ready for common sense leadership - and are overwhelmingly supporting the candidates who will bring just that. In the third quarter alone:

• In NY-01, John Avlon "reported $2 million in contributions," more than double Nick LaLota's fundraising, and leads in cash-on-hand.

• In NY-03, Tom Suozzi nearly quadrupled Mike LiPetri, raising more than $1.2 million with more than $2.4 million cash-on-hand.

• In NY-04, Laura Gillen hauled in nearly $2.5 million to Anthony D'Esposito's $865,000.

• In NY-17, Mondaire Jones brought in nearly $2.9 million, nearly double Mike Lawler's haul, and leads cash-on-hand.

• In NY-18, Pat Ryan's $1.9 million haul lapped Alison Esposito's $711,000 fundraising, with the incumbent boasting $2.8 million on hand.

• In NY-19, Josh Riley's $2.8 million quarter was "more than twice" Marc Molinaro's fundraising numbers.

• In NY-22, John Mannion "raised more than $2 million in the past three months compared to Williams' $940,000."

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
"New York Republicans' moderate facade has quickly faded, and Empire State families can clearly see that they are merely self-serving, far-right enablers doing nothing but wasting taxpayers' money in Washington. These fundraising numbers prove that New Yorkers are ready for true, transparent representation - and that the road to the House majority goes right through their backyards."

• On Long Island, Democrat John Avlon - who like Mannion was rebuilding after a heated primary - reported $2 million in contributions versus Republican Rep. Nick LaLota's $900,000 raised.
